GCP's Cyclic Review Means all Courses are Fully-Scoured
At GCP, we verge on fanaticism when it comes to accurate content. In addition to the ongoing maintenance we do monthly in response to and anticipation of needs to ensure that our content stays current, every two or three years, we also embark on a top-to-bottom overhaul.
This fall marks the final phase or our latest cyclic review. Over the past several few months, we've scoured over every course we offer with a fine-tooth comb. We've gone screen by screen, checking for appropriateness of graphics, freshness of best practices and illustrative statistics, and double-checking for the very latest regulatory updates. To ensure the very highest quality, we've brought in experts including CSPs (Certified Safety Professional), CIHs (Certified Industrial Hygienist), CHMMs (Certified Hazardous Materials Manager), LPSs (Loss Prevention Systems), and CETs (Certified Environmental, Safety and Health Trainer). With more than 50 years combined experience with private and government entities, our expert subject matter reviewers help ensure the GCP promise of agile, accurate content.

GCP Assists the US Department of Treasury
For five years running, GCP has provided online training resources for the US Department of Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Of particular interest, we developed an innovative 508-accessible content player specifically for the Bureau, allowing adaptive technology to interface with the courses. To ensure success, and in our true partnership form, we tested everything with BEP's team as well as with outside disabilities consultants. The result? A totally accessible, interactive e-learning solution that works seamlessly with screen-reader technology.
GCP and Wright-Patterson AFB
As part of a 7-year-long relationship, GCP created a customized RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) course on the safe handling and disposal of hazardous materials from "cradle-to-grave." Over the years, we've updated and revised the course two times, and continue to help Wright-Patterson manage its training and training records for environmental compliance.

BAE Systems has migrated from LMS to LMS and stuck with GCP through it all. Because, quite simply, our content works for them ... no matter what they're doing.

Most recently, Halliburton purchased The Unlimited Perpetual license to those courses in our Ultimate Edition. In partnership with Halliburton, GCP's content has been deployed throughout the world ... in Siberia, the Congo, the Gulf Coast, and beyond. And our friends at Halliburton have been instrumental in helping us succeed. Their clearly defined business needs were part of the genesis of our current business model.

When Denso found GCP, it was love at first sight. Our content was just right. The GCP Player worked even better than they'd hoped, and the training content passed everyone's evaluations. But what really made the difference for this Japanese-owned manufacturer was our agility and flexibility on purchasing terms. Denso needed to meet some critical, non-traditional requirements regarding payment for their online training.

The value GCP brings to this relationship: technological design innovation. In order to deliver their existing training videos in SCORM-compliant Learning Management Systems, they wrapped them in GCP's very agile Global Content Player.

GCP Molds IOT's Training Agility
Interactive Occupational Training (IOT) hired GCP to design and develop a custom 14-course certification program for mold remediation. When they discovered that there was a strong demand for face-to-face delivery of their training, they were thrilled with their choice of GCP's Global Content Player, whose flexibility allowed them to deliver their multimedia training presentations in all the ways their clients needed it. Since GCP courseware can run on CD-ROM and the web in addition to playing nicely with all SCORM/AICC-compliant LMSs, IOT took their GCP-created training on the road, to great acclaim. This allowed IOT to promise – and deliver – consistent, excellent training, regardless of location or delivery method.
Our Global Content Player Just Got Better
Folks who've used our training tell us all the time how much they appreciate the way our content plays. And we at GCP are proud of that. But we're not willing to be complacent. We know there's always room for improvement. In fact, we've just increased the portability and flexibility of our courseware delivery on CD-ROM and the Internet to add a certificate printing option. We've also reexamined some of the functionality in the universal aspects of our player. And, in 2010, V5 will expand customizability options, so things will be even more functional ... and they'll look better too.

Caterpillar Digs Deep with GCP Customization
Everyone knows the big yellow trucks and tractors. At GCP, we've provided off-the-shelf training, customized existing courses, and created entirely new content, collaborating with Caterpillar's teams as the content experts. On the translation and localization front, in partnership with training development and software localization companies based in Argentina and Singapore, we've transformed courses for Cat into Spanish, French, Chinese and Portuguese. And that includes translating not only the training content, but also all the help, navigation, and interaction of the content player into those foreign languages.
GCP Increases Foreign Language Capacity
As firm believers that people can — and should — come together without being limited by borders, making GCP content available in multiple languages makes us very happy. So we're thrilled to announce our enhanced translation and localization capacity. In addition to the core foreign languages like Spanish and French, we've also translated some of our courses into Portuguese, Russian and Chinese. In fact, with translators in California, Argentina and now, Singapore, we can translate content into 20 or more foreign languages. Another example of GCS's agile business vision.
